Hope all of you had a great holiday weekend. I had a blast. Went to see Election with my girlfriend after I surprised her by visiting her at work. Went canoeing for 12 miles, played soccer and baseball with my old high school buddies (killed myself in the process), actually got somewhat tanned, and saw the Kane County Cougars win 13-4 over the Peoria Chiefs. Kept myself pretty busy. It was a damned good time.

[editor's note: I don't think I've seen Election since this date. I liked that movie. May have to remedy this.]
